[Verse 1]
Oh, I once had a girl
Or should I say (Or should I say), she once had me?
She showed me her room
"Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?"

[Bridge]
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there was not a chair, oh

[Verse 2]
So I sat on the rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine (Biding my time, drinking her wine)
We talked until two
And then she said, "It's time for bed"

[Bridge]
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath, oh

[Verse 3]
And when I awoke
I was alone, this bird had flown (I was alone, this bird had flown)
So I lit a fire (So I)
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood?

[Outro]
Isn't it good (Isn't it good?), Norwegian wood (Norwegian wood)
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood? (Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?)
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood? (No)
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood? (Norwegian wood)
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?
Isn't it good (Isn't it good?), Norwegian wood?
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood? (Isn't it good?)

P.M. Dawn

P.M. Dawn is an American R & B and Hip Hop act, formed in 1988 by the brothers Attrell Cordes (known by his stage name Prince Be, sometimes credited as Prince Be the Nocturnal) and Jarrett Cordes (known as DJ Minutemix) in Jersey City, New Jersey. They earned significant crossover success in the early 1990s with music that merged hip hop, older soul, and more pop-oriented urban R&B.

After recording their debut single “Ode to a Forgetful Mind” in 1988, P.M. Dawn released their first album Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the The Utopian Experience in 1991 to critical acclaim. It achieved immediate commercial success because of its single “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss”. Their 1993 follow-up The Bliss Album…? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence) was also praised by critics and featured the hit singles “I’d Die Without You” and “Looking Through Patient Eyes”. P.M. Dawn continued to receive strong reviews, but sold poorly with their subsequent albums Jesus Wept (1995) and Dearest Christian, I’m So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here. Love, Dad (1998).

P.M. Dawn contributed a cover of “You Got Me Floatin'” to the 1993 compilation album Stone A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Artists ranging from Pat Metheny to Eric Clapton to Ice-T’s Body Count were included. They also remixed Beautiful People’s “If 60’s Was 90’s”.
